German Women Clinch the FIFA World Cup title for 2nd Time

30.09.2007:Germany's women's soccer team powered their way to a thrilling 2-0 victory over Brazil with Birgit Prinz's goal in the 52nd minute and Simone Laudehr's header in the 86th bringing the team its second consecutive Women's World Cup title. Germany's watertight defence didn't concede a single goal in the tournament, the first time ever that a soccer side has managed the feat. 31,000 fans in Shanghai's Hongkou Football Stadium watched the fast-paced FIFA Women's World Cup final. Brazilian star striker Marta, the top scorer in the tournament, failed to get in a penalty kick past goalkeeper Nadine Angerer, a goal which would have tied the game in the second half.
